Thanks.

I read in the first post that this is based on btrfs; Unfortunately this filesystem isn't supported by Gparted which would be the ideal way to grow the filesystem to fill the available space. If you are using Windows you can use its own Disk Management tools to format any empty space on the drive as a FAT32 partition. The FAT 32 partition can be used to store media files and has the advantage of being portable; files downloaded to the partition in XBMC can be accessed by other devices.

There is an old thread detailing a way to grow the btrfs partition, but it's not as easy or as useful as having the additional FAT32 one.

Yep! that's the thread I meant, but the extra space created is only readable by the Joggler or another linux box. If you create another partition that is readable by more devices you can power down the Joggler, remove the stick and take it round to a friend's house to watch old episodes of "Monkey" (or whatever).

finding this the Best / Stable image to date and meets my needs for a media gui on my jogglers
looking forward to your next release with bug fixes and better xsqueeze support already!!
Can i ask, have you included any bluetooth audio drivers into the distro? prehaps Buzz included these in the base image
looking to buy a usb bluetooth dongle rather than a 3.5mm to Bluetooth transmitter ideally
was wondering if anyone had tested these with the various linux distros we have

Update - Reading up and it seems any CSR chipset BT dongle will suffice, the Bluenext BN01 is recommened
it just requires the BlueZ bluetooth stack, do we know if this is supported in the Base image or if its possible to install BlueZ to work with XBMC
I will order one and give it a test in the meantime

Check the new xsqueeze plugin. It should auto update and in config you must select touch screen support. It has some artifacts but it should work. Also check the original xbmc forum about the progress on xsqueeze.

I think i have managed to improve the startup of XBMC. It seems now much more stable and if xbmc crashes it starts again by itself but did not have a crash yet
If someone would like to try out i can host scripts and write small script so you will basically only run the commands under root account.

Anybody tried this yet? I've still not downloaded the most current version of this os so I've not attempted to use it. Have to admit I feel like a total traitor as I love squeezeplay.

EDIT 8 Nov: I've now updated to the current version of this OS. Xsqueeze doesn't work for me. It can see my other joggler (which has music stored on usb and lms on squeezeplay os) but can't see any of the files.

I've been using v0.8 (on a kingston usb) for quite some time now almost flawlessly. I updated to 0.9. Managed to get internet connection - as iplayer works - but it won't play youtube, tvcatchup and a couple of other addons. The addons are being updated (pop up msg) but unable to load anything. It is also a fair bit slower but that may well be my usb (sandisk - also using an identical one of these for squeezeplay os and so far so good).

I also can't get xsqueeze to work either.

I'm a bit baffled by this. If there was something wrong with the image then others would have said something. Clearly it's something my end. I'm not fussed about rectifying it at this stage as I'll be sticking with the lovely v0.8 but this might be useful for someone else.
